Build your quote in one phone call
Answer three questions about the property and we can price the EICR there and then. No visit first, no sales appointment, and nothing to sign before you see the figure.
The three questions we will ask
Have the answers ready and the whole call takes a couple of minutes.
1. How big is the property?
A studio, a two bed terrace, a four bed house with a garage supply. Bedrooms are a rough guide, and outbuildings matter more than people expect.
2. How many switches on the fuseboard?
Open the cupboard and count the rockers. That number is the circuit count, and the circuit count is what drives the testing time.
3. Who is in the property?
Empty, owner occupied, or tenanted. The power goes off in stages while we test, so we plan the visit around whoever is living there.
Your starting figures
These are the numbers your quote is built from. Where your property lands above the starting figure depends on the answers to the three questions above.
| The job | Quote starts at |
|---|---|
| EICREvery circuit inspected and tested, coded report, PDF by email | From £160 |
| Fuseboard changeNew consumer unit with RCD protection, tested and labelled | From £600 |
| Remedials from your reportPriced line by line, so you can pick what gets done | Quoted first |
Your quote is confirmed in writing before we book you in
What you hear on the phone, you get in writing. We do not start work until you have that figure and told us to go ahead. If the property turns out to be bigger than described, we tell you before we test rather than after.
What the EICR quote already covers
- Every circuit on the board, tested dead and live, not a sample.
- The coded report, with each observation written in plain English next to its code.
- The PDF, emailed when the job is finished and ready to forward on.
- A written price for anything that failed, sent with the report rather than weeks later.
- Travel anywhere in Test Electrical. We do not add a mileage line.
What is quoted separately
Repairs are never rolled into the inspection price. That keeps the report honest: we are paid to test, not to find work. If your report comes back satisfactory, you pay for the EICR and nothing else.
When something does need putting right, you get the items listed one by one with a price against each. Take all of them, take the urgent ones, or take the list to somebody else. Read more about fuseboard changes if yours is the board that gets flagged.
Quoting a portfolio
Letting agents and landlords with several addresses in Test Electrical should send the list rather than ring about one property at a time. We price the whole set in one go, plan the route around them, and send you a single written quote. The landlords and letting agents page covers how block bookings and expiry reminders work.
From enquiry to report
Tell us the property
Postcode, rough size, switch count if you can get to the board, and who is living there.
Take the figure in writing
We put the quote in an email so you have it in black and white before you decide anything.
Pick a date that suits
We agree a slot that works around the tenant or your own diary, then confirm it.
Get the report and any prices
The PDF lands by email. Anything that failed comes with a price beside it, ready for your decision.
Questions about quoting
Can you really quote without seeing the property?
For an EICR, yes, in almost every case. Size and circuit count are enough. A fuseboard change is different, because the earthing and the incoming supply arrangement decide how much work is involved, so we confirm that figure once we have seen the board.
What if I do not know how many circuits there are?
Tell us the size of the property and we will work from that. If the count turns out to be different when we arrive, we talk to you about it before we start testing, not afterwards.
Is the quote valid for long?
Ask us when we send it and we will tell you how long we are holding that figure for. We would rather say it plainly than bury a date in the small print.
Do you quote for work outside Test Electrical?
No. We keep to Test Electrical on purpose. Staying on our own patch is what lets us come back quickly when a report turns up remedials.
Do you want a deposit up front?
Not for an EICR. You book the date, we do the work, and you settle up afterwards. For a fuseboard change we talk through the arrangement when we confirm the price.
What does yours cost?
One call answers it. Tell us the address in Test Electrical and the size of the property, and we will give you the number.
